Open Hackathons provide exciting opportunities for scientists to accelerate their AI research or HPC codes under the guidance of expert mentors from national science agencies, universities and industry leaders in a collaborative environment.

Whether your code is a traditional HPC-centric application or it focuses on AI/ML technologies, the goal of the event is to port and optimize codes on GPUs in a focused and highly collaborative environment. We are expecting 10-12 research teams across various scientific research domains to participate.

Consider applying to participate in the NCI GPU Hackathon if you have an application running on Gadi, NCI’s newest supercomputer, and want to port it to GPUs to increase performance, or if your AI/ML application is already using GPUs and you could use a helping hand to get to the next level of performance.
